I believe that it is appropriate for contrib/ because it is a good demo
of FTI-like capabilities. But nothing more, yet. For at least a couple
of reasons:

1) It generates the "index" as a table, not a PostgreSQL index or
index-like thing.

2) It has a hardcoded list of non-indexed words. This should come from a
table, to allow it to be tuned to the application requirements.

Comments?
